BBC announces return of beloved game show with celeb hosts – here’s how you can apply
POPULAR BBC game show The Hit List is returning for a brand new seventh series.
The show is already recruiting new pairs who think they have the music knowledge that will see them outwit their fellow opponents.
Hosted by popstars turned presenters, and husband and wife duo, JLS‘ Marvin Humes and The Saturdays star Rochelle, the show has proven extremerly popular with fans since it debuted in 2019.
In the upcoming series, set to air in 2024, there will be six regular editions as well as six celeb specials to keep BBC viewers entertained.
The show will film in Glasgow at the Pacific Quay studios with applications for potential participants already open.
If you think you have what it takes to win the £10,000 up for grabs, you can apply to be a contestant on the show on the BBC website now.
Speaking about the return on the programme, Marvin and Rochelle said: “We are so excited to be back with our SEVENTH series! We have so much fun hosting the show together, and we’re excited to see what this next series will bring.
“We’re looking forward to more Saturday night fun that will have you shouting the answers at your TV!”
Karen Smith the Executive Producer of The Hit List, added: “It is truly amazing to have The Hit List recommissioned for its seventh series. I hope that viewers will enjoy the great music selection that will transform their living rooms into a house party!”
In the programme, three pairs of either friends, family members or celebrities have to name a series of songs or artists as soon as they hear it played aloud in the studio to be in with a chance of picking up the cash.
Across three rounds, they are narrowed down to just one pair who then take on the final ‘board’ of songs.
They must answer the names of ten songs as quickly as possible before the £10,000 drains away, failure to do so can see participants walk away penniless.
The new series will debut next year on BBC One.
It is Marvin and Rochelle’s first TV job as a couple since their guest stints on This Morning between 2013 and 2015.
Whilst Rochelle still co-hosts the daytime show on a stand-in basis, Marvin has cut back on appearing.
The couple ventured into the world of TV after taking a step back from the pop industry.
Marvin also enjoyed a long-running spell at Capital FM whilst Rochelle put her hand to co-hosting ITV‘s Ninja Warrior UK.
